It has been a busy Pride month at Lidl GB, so we wanted to shine a light on some of the activities that have taken place! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ We’ve been celebrating our incredible LGBTQ colleagues, sharing their stories, lived experiences, and celebrating everyone's journey. One of the stories that was shared came from Andy Cole, one of our brilliant Regional Directors and how he works to foster a truly inclusive workspace where colleagues can express themselves freely and feel heard. We didn't stop there! Wonderful Pride celebrations were held in all of our regions, including at Lidl House where colleagues received an inspiring talk by the 'Sinnerman' Paul Sinha from ITV's 'The Chase'! Paul spoke on his experience of coming out and the importance of LGBTQ representation.🗣️ Plus, we shared a number of tools, encouraging colleagues to learn more about the LGBTQ community and how we can support. We're proud members of Stonewall's 'Diversity Champions' program, and we've launched a managers guide to support transgender colleagues. 🏳️⚧️ Let's carry on keeping these conversations open and create a supportive environment for everyone! ❤️ 💙 💚 💛 💜 🧡 Stay tuned as we share more on how we celebrated Pride Month! #Pride #Celebration #TeamLidl

Most brands only show up for Pride Month. Did you know that true commitment means being inclusive all year? Brands like Levi’s lead the way in year-round LGBTQ support. Commitment Beyond Pride It's about integrating LGBTQ inclusive elements into your brand daily, not just in June. Levi’s is a shining example. They support LGBTQ causes throughout the year, not just during Pride Month. Here are a few specific ways brands can show year-round commitment: 1. Inclusive Policies: Ensure your company policies protect and support LGBTQ employees and customers at all times. 2. Ongoing Education: Provide regular training on LGBTQ issues for all employees. 3. Year-Round Campaigns: Run campaigns that highlight LGBTQ stories and voices beyond Pride Month. 4. Community Engagement: Partner with LGBTQ organizations for events and initiatives throughout the year. True commitment means more than rainbow logos in June. It's about lasting change.

In #publicsafety , everyone is #family You spend more holidays with your co-workers than you do with your own family. Of course, you have that weird aunt or grumpy uncle but at the end of the day - regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. Everyone loves eachother and supports eachother through those difficult calls. Coming over to the private sector, I didn’t know what to expect. #Thankful to have joined a company that welcomes #diversity and supports all employees. Verint has created a culture that embraces #inclusion while providing #opportunities and #support for everyone. #equality #employeeresourcegroup #ERG #diversity #verint #publicsector #publicsafety #community #bestplacestowork #culture #proud #together #verinteer #technology #techjobs #womenintech
Leadership means embracing inclusion year-round, not just during Pride Month. It's about creating a culture that recognizes and appreciates the diversity of our workforce throughout the year. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest Employee Resource Group – LGBTQ . This group is committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment for all our LGBTQ Verinteers, helping them to grow and thrive. Join us this month and beyond as the LGBTQ ERG hosts engaging programs and events, shares valuable education, and drives impactful change. Together, we're building a more diverse, innovative, and better Verint. Happy #PrideMonth!

Why Do Brands Only Show Their True Colors in June? 🌈 As it is Pride Month, I have been reflecting on the influx of rainbow logos and celebratory posts from brands across all industries. It is heartening to see so much support for the LGBTQ community, but it also raises an important question: Why do these expressions of solidarity often disappear once July begins? True allyship means standing by the LGBTQ community year-round, not just when it is trending. It is about ensuring inclusive policies, supporting LGBTQ employees and customers, and fostering a culture where everyone feels safe and valued every single day. So, as we bid farewell to another Pride Month, let's challenge ourselves and the brands we support to keep the spirit of Pride alive all year. 🌟 #PrideMonth #LGBTQAllyship #InclusiveWorkplaces #YearRoundSupport #TrueColors

As we wrap up Pride Month on July 1st, it's important to remember that Pride is not confined to a single month—it's a year-round celebration of diversity, acceptance, and love. 🌈 Pride Month may end, but our commitment to creating inclusive spaces and supporting the LGBTQ community continues daily. Inclusion isn't a trend; it's a fundamental value that shapes our workplaces, communities, and lives. Let's carry the spirit of Pride with us throughout the year by: 1. Advocating for Inclusive Policies: Ensure that our workplaces are safe and welcoming for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 2. Educating Ourselves and Others: Continue learning about the experiences and challenges faced by the LGBTQ community. Knowledge fosters understanding and empathy. 3. Supporting LGBTQ Initiatives: Whether through volunteering, donating, or participating in events, let's actively support organisations that uplift and empower the LGBTQ community. 4. Being Allies: Stand up against discrimination and be a voice for equality. Small actions can lead to significant changes. Pride is a celebration of how far we've come and a reminder of the work still ahead. Together, we can build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. #PrideEveryDay #InclusionMatters #LoveIsLove #YearRoundPride #LGBTQAlly
